The German Society of Nature Photographers -- the trippingly named Gesellschaft Deutscher Tierfotografen -- holds a contest every year for the best photographs. Featured in the Guardian are some of the winners with some truly stunning photographs. Check out this year's winners on display at the Guardian's website, including this wonderful example by Bence Máté taken in Hungary. Who do you think won this standoff? My bet's on the bird. Check out more incredible photographs and the impressive techniques of Bence Máté at his website.
